This book compiles a set of articles that arised following
the communications presented in a meeting entitled "Taller
y Tertulia de Oceanografía", held at Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria, November 1998. The meeting was organized by
the Biological, Chemical, Geological and Physical
Oceanography research groups at the Facultad de Ciencias
del Mar of the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The meeting was financed by the Consejería de Educación,
Cultura y Deportes of the Canary Islands local government
and the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Cultura. The
publication of this special issue has been possible thanks to
financial support by Consejería de Educación, Cultura y
Deportes, Viceconsejería de Medio Ambiente, and
Viceconsejería de Pesca, all from the Canary Islands local
government, a grant by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia y
Tecnología, a donation from La Caja de Canarias, and the
financial and logistic collaboration of the Universidad de
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

On the homogeneity of the wave field in coastal areas as determined from ERS-2 and
RADARSAT synthetic aperture radar images of the ocean surface
F. Ocampo-Torres
Spatial variations of the wave field in coastal waters were determined from images obtained by
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) on board the European satellites ERS-1 and 2. The capabilities of
RADARSAT SAR to provide useful information for evaluating the wave field variation in nearshore
waters are explored. Besides the different polarization between ERS and RADARSAT SARs, range
to velocity ratios, signal to noise ratios and the acquisition swath are important issues to take into
consideration in comparing the performance of the radar systems. In situ data from a coastal region in
the north-west of Baja California are used to validate some of the remote observations and to provide
relevant ground truth. Particular aspects of wave phenomena in finite depth waters such as refraction,
diffraction and groupiness are considered. An appropriate method for analysing the radar images is
applied to describe wave features as they originate from a non-homogeneous process. Wave field
characteristics and their spatial variations as resolved by RADARSAT SAR are relevant variables for
applications such as beach erosion and coastal management. Inclusion of specific modules to retrieve
this type of information should be considered for operational software packages for the use and
application of ocean surface data from SAR images. The differences of the two radar systems did not
affect their capabilities to observe the wave field in coastal regions.
